I became famous for broadcasting my life as a social animal to different dynasties

【The rise of commerce and cities gave rise to people’s desire for economic freedom. 】

【The increasingly wealthy citizens made a decision and bought the city's autonomy from the nobles. 】

【From then on, the citizens made their own laws, and the nobles could not collect taxes directly from them.】

[Citizens' autonomy has injected a strong driving force into the development of the Netherlands. ]

! ! ! ! ! !

"What? You bought the city's autonomy? You can buy autonomy?" Qianlong was amazed: "This... This is simply ridiculous!

"Your Majesty, they don't have an emperor, only nobles..." Yong Yan reminded.

"No wonder, no wonder Europe is a mess..." Qianlong said disdainfully: "This is the consequence of emphasizing commerce!"

But... it was this fragmented Europe that dragged the entire unified Qing Dynasty into a terrible and humiliating situation in the later period... Yongyan felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Merchants in various dynasties were incredible. There were actually merchants who were rich enough to buy the autonomy of an entire city...

And the key is that they bought it successfully!

He even made his own laws!

What kind of laws would a merchant city have?

In an instant, merchants from various dynasties were ready to make a move. When the imperial court saw this, it immediately struck back with a strong hand, and cleanly and efficiently eliminated all nine clans of the most violent leaders.

The strong smell of blood made the merchants, who were full of enthusiasm because of the sky curtain, suddenly feel cold at heart. They hurriedly handed over their wealth with both hands, knelt down obediently and shouted: Long live our emperor.

The general wiped the bloody sword in his hand and smiled contemptuously: "You don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

Some things are just for reading, learning everything will only get you killed!

The scholars and officials snorted coldly: To give merchants autonomy in a unified Central Plains dynasty? It's simply a fantasy!

Can't you see where you are because your eyes are covered with shit?

The people were trembling with fear: Fortunately, they are only interested in farming!

We should be thankful if the imperial court could impose less taxes or something, but what about autonomy?

What is that? They don't know!

Woohoo~~ It’s better to watch the documentary about the Guardian, it’s about the rise of a great power!

I was so scared that I lost a few years of my life...

[Each city strives to gain more trade opportunities. Cities are ruled by wealthy merchants, who decide the management of the city. ]

Ying Zheng naturally thought of Lu Buwei.

Wasn't he just a businessman? Just because of his rich family wealth, he was able to help the previous king ascend the throne, and he himself also realized the transformation from a businessman to a prime minister. He was named Wenxin Hou and had 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan!

Isn’t Lu Buwei’s behavior the highest level of a businessman’s pursuit of profit?

Li Si was very interested in the laws made by merchants. Are the interests of merchants the supreme authority?

Are all laws just to allow merchants to do business to the greatest extent possible?

In this way, the wealth of these businessmen will rival that of a country!

Liu Bang's eyes turned cold: This is absolutely impossible in my Han Dynasty!

Liu Che drew out his sword, which shone with cold light: "Those merchants are restless."

Wei Qing replied respectfully: "It is not a big deal. Your Majesty is worrying too much. The Han Dynasty is not the Netherlands. The soil of the Han Dynasty cannot produce such merchants."

Liu Che said nonchalantly: "If anyone imitates me, I will kill them without mercy."

Wei Qing: “Yes.”

Cao Pi wondered: "Why did those nobles agree to sell the city's autonomy to the merchants? Don't they want to rule this city?"

Cao Cao looked at the sky and said, "Because the nobles regard money as more important than power."

"But if they have rights, they can also have money!"

"Do you think ruling is such a simple matter?" Cao Cao sneered: "Those nobles only want money, while the merchants want autonomy. It can be said that each gets what he wants."

Zhuge Liang, however, had a vague sense of the development of something terrifying, something more advanced than the current monarchy...

However, he didn't dare to think too deeply.

He shook his head: Their goal is to restore the Han Dynasty!

Continue looking at the sky.

[While the Dutch were busy running their cities, the political landscape of Europe as a whole was changing dramatically.]

[Some wise and capable monarchs used the gunpowder introduced by the Mongol army during the westward expedition to destroy the castles of the nobles and establish various monarchical centralized states.]

[These countries have incomparable advantages over separatist aristocratic territories and independent commercial city-states. ]

【It can effectively mobilize and organize the power of the entire nation. 】

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief: Sure enough, no matter how much money a businessman makes, he cannot succeed without a strong court.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't mind what happened in the sky. The national conditions were different. If those businessmen imitated him recklessly, the court's army would teach them a lesson.

The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were speechless for a long time after being stung by a boomerang of gunpowder.

Kublai Khan said solemnly: "Then, they used our gunpowder to destroy the later dynasties..."

Zhenjin didn't dare to say anything.

Kublai Khan laughed at himself: "Sure enough, no matter how powerful a dynasty is, it will be invaded once it falls behind."

[However, the Dutch did not care about the success of Portugal and Spain. They were content with their independent cities. Their only concern was to get as much wealth as possible.]

Cao Cao laughed: What a delicious piece of fat meat this is for the ambitious neighboring country~~It's even undefended!

He just didn't believe that a capable monarch would not want to swallow up this place.

It may even be possible to take down these cities that think they are independent and free without even a single soldier.

How can a city talk about independence and freedom without strong military protection?

It's just a fool's errand.

【Thus, the King of Spain gained control of the Netherlands through a political marriage.】

[Spain also announced that from now on the Netherlands was a sacred and inseparable part of Spain. The Dutch looked up and agreed.]

Various dynasties: !!!!!!

hmmmm?

what happened?

Agreed? Just agreed like that?

You don't even try to show some resistance? Does this affect your ability to make money?

If this happened in a dynasty in the Central Plains, both the powerful and the weak would have to resist for several years.

Zhang Liang was incredulous. Just like that? How could it be like this?

If this happened in the Warring States Period, no matter who was married to whom, they would still rise up in resistance when they were annexed!

After all, who wants to be a slave of a conquered nation?

Oh, no, this Netherlands doesn’t have a country…

It’s hard to judge…

Liu Che was extremely envious and wished that the Huns could be like the Dutch.

Kublai Khan: Are these Dutch people all spineless?

No, it’s because they have no concept of country!

Naturally, there is no thought of fighting for the country.

When the Mongolian cavalry marched south to destroy the Song Dynasty, they captured the city of Lin'an and captured the five-year-old Emperor Gong. The Song Dynasty was doomed.

But Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and others refused to surrender.

In the end, Lu Xiufu would rather jump into the sea with the young lord on his back and die for his country than surrender. More than 800 members of the Zhao Song royal family jumped into the sea and committed suicide. Many loyal ministers followed suit. More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea and died for their country.

The tragic scene is awe-inspiring.

Although Song is a spineless person, there are always some people who would rather break their spine than bend it.

Is this the spirit passed down from generation to generation by the Central Plains dynasties?

Kublai Khan lowered his eyes.
